I'm preparing to install the ATI 8.12 driver for my x64 system and it says I have to have Xorg 6.8 or higher installed. This is my output:


root@amd64-desktop:/etc/ati# Xorg -version

This is a pre-release version of the X server from The X.Org Foundation.
It is not supported in any way.
Bugs may be filed in the bugzilla at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/.
Select the "xorg" product for bugs you find in this release.
Before reporting bugs in pre-release versions please check the
latest version in the X.Org Foundation git repository.
See http://wiki.x.org/wiki/GitPage for git access instructions.

On other posts it has clearly stated "X Window System Version XX". Mine says X Protocol Version 11 - does that mean my Xorg version is 11?

$ apt-cache policy xorg

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11#Release_history. As for where the 1.4.090 version string comes into play; don't ask me, haven't got a clue.

I just installed the ATI driver and it seemed to work alright other than the fact that each time I reboot I have to delete the /etc/ati directory and reinstall the driver. Thanks!
